SOLAT

Perhaps, my favorite PJ song ever!

I was just out running some errands and listened to SOLAT (Katowice 2000) over and over and over...just kept hitting "back" every timed in ended...then, I sat in my garage until it ended for like the fourth time.

:mrgreen:

The guitars, the vocals, the e-oh-e-oh-e-ohs, the na-na-na-nas. What a great fucking song!

"won't you help me
help me from myself"

    Was my one favorite song, but only pre-Jack/Matt. Now... I can't listen to it. Maybe I'd kinda like it if I never ever heard it when Dave played it.
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    I always wish this song was more present in "Singles" I mean it's cool in the scene it's in, I just think it should have had more of a presence

    For some odd reason, everytime they played SOLAT at Katowice, it sounded better than the last. It's even kind of weird in a way.
    SOLAT rocks hard obviously! :D

    In my opinion, PJ's best. Its been my favorite ever since I heard it.

    I cant help but agree with a previous post though, it seems to have lost a little live lately compared to back in the ten-vs-vitalogy days

    Check out my Pic..........my favourite song since I first heard it.

    When this song first came out I was in high school and I recorded it on both sides of a 90 min cassette and listened to it non stop on my walkman....remember those??

    I did the same thing. Played it really loud on the TV and recorded on my cassette player. I never really bought CDs.

    It's the one song that Dave played better then everyone else, the studio version is still the best :D

    Exactly! Not a big fan of Dave A. But in this case, we will give credit where credit is due. The studio version is the BEST!
